Those that really wanted to know asked in PM

Sent you an PM, I think this was just a misunderstanding between admins and I, on how much in detail I could post.

I bought it from Vintage Wine and Port in UK, look at their offers and a working coupon "VWP2016" :)

I made an impulse purchase after seeing a "day special offer" for Portal 2011 vintages at 22 USD a piece. Thank you for the heads up! They are still for sale at 24$/btl at www.skovgaardvine.dk, which there weren't last time I took a 18 btl haul from them, so now I got myself a case of 201...

There has been some real price drop on Portal in Denmark, if it was just that one importer dumping prices by 50% or a agressive move from Portal itself, I do not know.

As others have stated, it is hard for new comers to overcome the line in the sand where you have enough knowledge and experience to really get into the discussed subjects. Taste notes are also something that very few "new to port" wants to publicize here as there are so many results and on...

I have only had two bottles of Croft 1966 and the last is in the cellar for next year. As stated above, price to quality/age is fair wit this one.

No 2011 Mads? I saw they had that one as well or it wasn't part of the discount offering? It was only on offer for 12 at a time, and not as great a offer as the others. It is one of the few bottles you can get cheaper elsewhere. So far it has scored a little lower than the other and even before I o...

Damn those christmas offers...

That makes for a wonderful additional macro to add to my spreadsheet :)

You can try it yourself with a string and some liquid that can burn. Alcohol, nail polish etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxKZ8hhcmvg

It is hard to make up in money, I try to stay around 24 bottles a year. That way I still stock more than I drink and can build up a cellar for when I am older :)

I am not years from moving from apartment to house, so just ordered the book, at a mere 20$ with shipping, the wine ill drink while reading it is the issue

I accidentally bought a mixed 12 btl case as I got a fair price on it :) 2x 1983 Niepoort Vintage Port 2x 1991 Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port 1x 1995 Osborne vintage Port 2x 1997 Dow Vintage Port 2x 2000 Niepoort Vintage Port 1x 2004 Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port 2x 2005 Fonseca Guimaraens Vintag...
